Update on Membership Levels
The Board decided in December 2018 to remove the Professional Member level for the Association. We are evaluating new ways to support professional development for wallers over the coming year. We encourage certified wallers aiming to advertise their services to register with Stone Trust which is linked through our site, and to build a portfolio website.
For 2019, all General Members will be listed our new Membership page, organized by region, and including professional information, e.g. certification level. We continue to support certification, professional development through workshops, and participation in formal training for both new and restoration dry stone construction.
If you have comments or are a professional waller and would like to share ideas on how the Association can support your needs, please send them along here: Dry Stone Canada contact
